BBC Radio 4 - Westminster Hour, 14/04/2024

Ben Wright and guests discuss the crisis in the Middle East and the Rwanda plan.

Ben Wright is joined by Conservative MP Matt Warman, Labour's Meg Hillier, plus journalists Katy Balls and Miranda Green, to discuss the Middle East crisis and the Rwanda plan.

Ben Wright's guests are the Conservative former minister, Matt Warman; senior Labour MP, Dame Meg Hillier; and the deputy opinion editor at the Financial Times, Miranda Green. They discuss the crisis in the Middle East and hear from the EU's former foreign affairs chief Baroness Cathy Ashton, who talks about her experience of negotiating with Iran. The panellists look ahead to the final parliamentary stages of the Rwanda Safety Bill too - with Katy Balls from The Spectator bringing additional insight and analysis. The programme also includes an interview with Will Hutton about his latest book, "This Time No Mistakes", in which he makes the case for radical reform of the UK economy and public services.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
